Happy Hour: Tiger Woods or Tony Stewart?
Throughout the week you can send us your best questions, jokes, rants and just plain miscellaneous thoughts to [email protected] or @NickBromberg. We’ll post them here and have a good time.
Apologies for the belated Happy Hour this week. With our tour de Indianapolis (and rural Ohio), it’s been a busy week.
The spoilers are nine inches tall at Indy this weekend and … yeah, they look like fins on the back of the cars. There is a see through part of the spoilers near the top, though drivers have said they don’t have much visibility through them. With spotters, the limited visibility shouldn’t be an issue, but they are jarring to look at.
Maybe NASCAR should #bringbackthewing.
Let’s go ahead and start with a question that you can simulate in your head about 150 different ways.
After thinking about this for a while we can convince ourselves of either answer. We’re going to go with our initial instinct and say Stewart, simply because he has more opportunities to win in a given year. Tiger Woods isn’t playing 36 tournaments a year.
And Woods also has to string four rounds together for a win. Stewart just needs one race. Hell, even the problems the two are having are sort of similar. Woods can play a good round of golf – Stewart can turn a fast lap in practice or qualifying – but when it comes to consistency, it simply isn’t there. We like Stewart’s chances a bit better. Only if it’s because there are more of them.
Though we do have a sneaking suspicion Stewart could be a factor for the win on Sunday. Perhaps it’s the thought of the comeback story at Indianapolis that is clouding an otherwise rational observation that the race will end up like most of the races for the No. 14 this season.
Who of the two would you pick?
Our phone provider apparently does not have any towers in the Eldora Speedway area. We were incommunicado. Besides, you’re hiding your face. How can you be ducked if we don’t know what we’re ducking from?

So was it Brad or Joey who got ate? – John
John is referring to Sharknado, which was on during the Eldora race. From what we’ve read, Keselowski got eaten after a shark fell from the sky. We’ll ask him how he’s doing this weekend. Hopefully he’s OK.
